Strango to sny the opinion of
members of Congress, irrespective
of pnrties, on tho question of ap
pointing oflicirtls in Hawaii does
not coincido with that of tho Ad
vertiser. Can our contemporary
explain tho occasion for this re
markablo digerenco?
With tho Houso coramittoo of
Territories having completed its
work on tho Hawaiian bill, tho
tnoasuro may now be considered
as well on its way. Thoro remains
about seven weeks for Congress to
do tho bnsinoss of tho session, and
Hawaii's chances thus far seem to
bo fairly good for prompt action.
Tho arrival of a United States
man-of-war may bo looked for at

betweon Spain and tho United
States?
If, aftor losing its incomo from
tho custom houso and kindred
sources, Hawaii has to dig up a
yearly Bubsidy for tho cablo, tho
taxpayer will havo a big bill at tho

want the cable, but wo prefer

nish material to construct "a vil

Tho story of Samoan affairs as
told by one who has just como
from tho sceno of action shows
that those islands furnish another
example of tho expression "small
pot, Boon hot." The troublesome
times of past Hawaiian history
seem to have boon handed down
tho lino. And the eventual re
sult will bo tho samo absorbed
by ono or moro of tho groat
powers.

President Dolo of Hawaii wil!
leave for Washington this month
to be presont at thotreopeuiug of

business thoro is probably to

Tho decision of Chiof Juatico

to make such altorations in those

may bo no further hiring of Brit

BID FOR- HAWAII SUGAR
Made by Promoters of the City of
Colombia Line.
Capt. Cbilcott Talks cf Suspension On Account
of Lack of Business Northern
Pacific Liners.
Tacoma, Decembor 22.
"Barneson fe Cbilcott have mado
a bid for tho transportation of
10,000 tons of sugar from tho Ha
waiian islands to Now York by
way of Puget Sound, and possi
bly by way of tho port of Tacoma
and the Northorn Pacific."
So said Richard Cbilcott, of the
firm of Barnoson fc Cbilcott, Puget
Sound stovedoros and shipping
mon, and manager of tbo Pugot
Sound-Hawaiian steamer lino in
which tho Centennial and tho City
of Columbia woro placed several
wooks ago. Ho returned from the
East last week and was in TaconTa
yestorday.
"Should wo get tho contract,"
continued Mr. Cbilcott, "we shall
bring tho sugar to tho Sound in
sailing vessols. I havo today
been speaking with tho Northorn
Pacific peoplo in regard to having
sidings pat in at thoir wharf.
"The prospective freight is to
bo moved this season, and the
first cargo, should wo got tho con
tract, will start to movo about tho
first of tho year.
"This movomont by way of
Pugot Sound would givo tho
Northern transcontinental road,
hundreds of cars of freight, but it
eoems somo of thorn aro not anxi
ous for the 'business. It seems
thoy havo all tho traffic east-bound
thoy can handle Lumber and
shinglos aro tho chiof commodi
ties, "Wo havo practically withdrawn
our steamers from tho Hawaiian
Sound trado. Tho traffic is not
heavy enough for us to maintain
the line. If anyono can mako a
buccosb of it, it must bo somo ono
with unlimited capital, somo of
the big trans-Pacific linos, like
tho Northern Pacific Steamship
Company. Could that lino drop
in at Hawaiian ports on tho way
to and trom tuo Uriont, it would
probably mako a success of the
Hawaiian .Northwestern trade.
"There's no uso to talk about a
sugar rofinery for a help to (he
trudo. Tho trust will soon con
trol it.
"That story printed in a Seattle
paper as coming from mo and say
ing tbo North Gorman Lloyd
woro soon to bo in operation in
this region is without foundation.
I said nothing of tho kind. Tho
story was manufactured."
